Placement of pancreatic duct spontaneous dislodgement stent in patients with difficulty in selective biliary cannulation could be useful for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To examine the utility of placement of pancreatic duct spontaneous dislodgement stents for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis in patients with difficulty in selective biliary cannulation. METHODOLOGY: The incidence of pancreatitis was compared between the group with P(+) pancreatic duct spontaneous dislodgement stent placed for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis and the group without P(-) in patients with difficulty in selective biliary cannulation. RESULTS: The final success rate of selective biliary cannulation was 94.45%. Post-ERCP pancreatitis was observed at 7.07%. The success rate of placement of pancreatic duct stent in the P(+) group was 99.0%. The incidence of pancreatitis in 99 patients in the P(+) group was 3.0%, that of abdominal pain was 3.0%, that of hyperamylasemia was 16.2%, and the mean post-ERCP amylase level was 353.031 +/- 520.792 IU/L. The incidence of pancreatitis in the P(-) group was 11.1%, that of abdominal pain was 20.2%, that of hyperamylasemia was 33.3%, and the mean post-ERCP amylase level was 541.204 +/- 771.843 IU/L. Comparing between the P(+) group and P(-) group, the incidence of pancreatitis, that of abdominal pain, that of hyperamylasemia and the mean post-ERCP amylase level were significantly decreased in the P(+) group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Placement of pancreatic duct spontaneous dislodgement stent in patients with difficulty in selective biliary cannulation could be useful for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Rectal Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Are Superior to Pancreatic Duct Stents in Preventing Pancreatitis After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Network Meta-analysis

TL;DR: Based on a network meta-analysis, rectal NSAIDs alone are superior to PD stents alone in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis, and should be considered first-line therapy for selected patients.

Clinical usefulness and current problems of pancreatic duct stenting for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis

TL;DR: It is impossible to completely prevent pancreatitis at this time because there are various factors for occurrence of post-ERCP pancreatitis, so further clarification of the pathology and advancement of the prophylactic method will be needed.

Hypertonic saline-epinephrine local injection therapy for post-endoscopic sphincterotomy bleeding: removal of blood clots using pure ethanol local injection.

TL;DR: This study indicated that hemostasis with HSE local injection can be safe and useful for the treatment of post-EST bleeding, and also that blood clot removal with pure ethanol local injections can be useful.

Prevention of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis by pancreatic duct stenting using a loop-tipped guidewire.

TL;DR: The results suggest that in patients who experience difficulties with biliary cannulation, the use of a loop-tipped guidewire for pancreatic duct stenting may assist with the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis, and thereby to a reduction of the risk ofPost-ER CP pancreatitis or hyperamylasemia.

TL;DR: Pancreatic duct stent insertion after ERCP reduces the frequency of post-ERCP pancreatitis in patients at high risk for this complication and tended to be less severe in patients who had pancreatic duct drainage.

Antiproteases in preventing post-ERCP acute pancreatitis

TL;DR: Large scale randomized controlled trials revealed that both the long-term infusion of gabexate and the short-term administration of ulinastatin may reduce pancreatic injury, but these studies involve patients at average risk of developing post-ERCP pancreatitis.
